About Us

Since its beginnings, Weco has set the standard for quality in the tile mortars and grouts industry in Puerto Rico and The Caribbean. Upon becoming part of the Blanco Group in 2013, Weco embarked on a journey of innovation to complete its portfolio of solutions, not only in the Tile & Stone Installation category but also in the Building Materials and Concrete Repair categories. Weco co-creates and develops its products using only premium materials and with the support of the best technical experts worldwide from our network of global suppliers. Our top-quality solutions meet and exceed ASTM, ANSI, and ISO industry standards.

Who We Are

Weco manufactures and distributes Premium building and tile installation materials, creating value to the construction professional, architect, designer, contractor and homeowner, with the most complete portfolio of solutions for industrial, commercial and residential projects. We strive to develop relationships, build trust and deliver quality to our customers. Our manufacturing plant in Puerto Rico is the most technologically advanced mortar production facility in The Caribbean, and is home to 150 employees who produce the best quality products in the industry. Our products are industry leaders in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and The Caribbean. We are committed to building a more resilient Caribbean and improving the lives of our families with each product we deliver to the market. We are Weco.

From the initial stages of each construction project, to its final touches, our Weco and Cortag products cover all the solutions that the construction professional, project owner and homeowner need to build, repair and transform spaces.

Technology & Capacity

Weco manufactures 100% of its products in the most modern cement mortars plant in Puerto Rico and The Caribbean, with an installed production capacity of 50,000 tons per year. We are vertically integrated to produce our own sands by milling and classifying aggregates to achieve the desired granulometry and enhance the quality of our mortars.

Eco-Friendly

At Weco we maximize the consumption of regionally available raw materials, securing only the best materials available locally and globally. We are committed to the protection of our environment, which is why the use of Weco manufactured building materials and tile adhesives can help contribute valuable points toward the LEED Certification Program.

Reliability

The Caribbean presents many challenges to the construction industry. We successfully meet these challenges by creating resilient materials that can withstand strong hurricane winds and are flexible enough to endure drastic temperature changes. Facing these constraints allows us to formulate products that are not only compliant with industry standards, but that also exceed industry expectations of trustworthiness, eco-friendliness and affordability.

Support

We strive to deliver the right materials and solutions to the construction professional and the DIY (“do-it-yourself”) customer, for their projects. We support our customers with high quality materials, tools, technical and sales experts, and a community of certified contractors and pros, ready to work with you in your next project. We are dedicated to your success!
